severe burning in my legs

deleted_user

My legs (especially my calves) feel like they are on fire. I didn't sleep well last night but the pain did not become unbearable until I started trying to walk. I also have lower back pain so it was a struggle just getting to the bathroom this morning. What medication would be the best for this type of pain. I am sorry to complain after just joining but I need your advice.

Love and God's Blessings,

Sherry

Sweetie, you complain all you want. This is what this site is for.
I too have the burning/weak legs. Well, sometimes burning, other time feels like brain freeze you get while eating ice-cream (yum!), but in the legs.
I swear by compression hose on those days. They keep the circulation going and actually help.
Hope this helps Love, Take care. Love, Mel

I take Lamictal for the leg burning which in my case is caused by nerve damage. You might try seeing a neurologist and having him/her administer a nerve conductivity test.

Best of luck

I have the burning in my back and shoulders. It must be even worse in the legs. and you are not complaing!! maybe seeing the nuero would get you some answers.Are you on anything like gabaphentin or lycrica. I think I spelt that wrong.I think my gabephentin should be increased maybe.

I have the same problem so I know how you feel. Lidocaine gel mixed with peppermint foot lotion is a great help. Rub it in at night and it helps me fall asleep.

I have this, too. Don't have an answer for you. I just want to say I'm sorry for your pain and sleepless night. You are not complaining, and the minute you joined you became part of the family! Welcome!

I get this type of pain too, especially the outside of my calves.

Usually Tylenol Arthritis and getting off of my feet helps. When it's really bad, I try a hot bath.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
